Self‐Sorting of Dynamic Imine Libraries during Distillation

Abstract

Keep it simple: The reaction of n aldehydes with n amines leads to a dynamic library of [n×n] imines. Slow distillation of the library amplifies the most volatile imine, whereby the most volatile aldehyde and amine are extracted from all other library components. Iterative repetition of the process enabled the self-sorting of the dynamic library into n mechanically separated imines, which were obtained in high yield.
